bic TO membership in the Cobdcn Club.
Congressman Doughcriy of Florida Is q
firm believer in the superior attractions of
his State, rs the following true story will
testify On one occasion a Massachusetts, man
was his guest and the Congressman took him
around showing him the charms nature had
so layishly bestowed upon the favored Sec
ton.
''Sec," said Colonel Doughcry, rapt-
urously, "thc beautiful flowers, the luscious
fruits, the soft blue sky, the birds ofbrilliant
plumage, the gentle undulations oftlc land"
"Oh, yes, ] sceH' replied the practical
Yankee, slapping his face and hands, | see,
but these internal mosquitoes ruin the pros
pect."
"Why, my dear sir" expostuated Dough-
eIty, "therc are no mosquitoes here. You
arc totally mistaken. You only think So"
The visitor wouldn't be persuaded, how
ever, and after an argument, emphasized by
slaps, he accepted q bet of $50 from his host
that he (the host would take oil all his
clothes and lie on his face in the sand for ten
minutes and not be disturbed by the mos
qutoes, nor show the slightest sign of dis
comfort.
The Congressman peeled down 10 the skin
prostrated himself, and the visitor stood over
him holding watch with one hand and
fighting the pests with the other.
For five, six, seven minutes Doughcrty lay
there, covered with mosquitoes, but betray-
ing not the slightest emotion. The visitor
by this time thought he was going to lose his
fifty, and with great sagacity, took sun
glass from his pocket and focused the rays
on the Congressman's back. For quarter
of minute Dougherty never tiinched, then
he began TO squirn. The Yankee kept per-
fectly still. In three quarters of minute
Doughcrty was comforting like man in
agony, and stretching back one hand appeal
ingly TO the visitor he called OUT
Say, Boston, ifyou'll let me kill that d.
yellow jacket I'll so you $50 more on the
mosquitoes"

WASHINGTON, DEC. 7, 1857.
TIE NEW DEAL.

The nominations sent TO the Senate
yesterday by tho President had been
looked upon as forcgone conclusions so
long that their announcement created
scarcely murmur Of surprise.
Here and there were those who scri-
ously doubted up TO the very last mo-
mcnt whether the deal would be carried
out according TO the advertised pro-
grammc.
1t was thought that when the time ar
rived for filing the vacancy OH the SUI
prcmc Bench the President would follow
his usual custom of astonishing the
country with some appointment hitherto
unmentioncd.
Others who did not look with favor
upon the elevation of MIR. Lamar TO the
Bench clung tcnaciously TO the hope
that this high honor would go else
where.
Another opinion WAS that in case Of
the transfer cf General Villas from the
Postoifcc TO the Interior Department,
the First Assistant Postmnster-General
would in tho natural order of events
and in the line of promotion, be made
his successor
The almost universal opinion, how
ever, corToborated recently by direct
expressions to that effect from the Presi-
dent himself, was that just the changes
that have been made would be made.
Consequently, as stated above, the trans
mission of the nominations TO the SEN
ate created no sensation.
Though not particularly distinguished
asa practicing lawyer, Mr.. Lamar is no
doubt a man Of profound legal learning
and of eminently judicial rather than
executive temperament, and will bring
to the Supreme Court great dignity and
intellectual strength. As 10 his integ-
rity it is without flaw.
What he may have done in the heat
of the battles of secession; what he may
have said amid the irritations of the era
of reconstruction or in the passionate
acrimony of debate, will probably not
count in the Senatorial discussion of his
appointment, nor be urged as an objec-
ton 20 his confirmation. 1t will be held
sufficient that he is a man Of learning,
of sincere attachment to the institutions
of his country, of reputable life and
conscicntiously upprcciative Of the re.
sponsibilitics OF the solemn trust re-
posed in him.
OF the fitness of General Villas for the
duties of the Interior Department ii is
enough 10 know that he has made IN
excellent Postmaster-G -General-so good q
one, in fact, that the country will gen,
orally regret that change should be
deemed cSpedicnt. That he will prove
equally successful and equally satisiac
tory as the head Of the other great De
partment TO which he has been trans
fcrred is one OF those things we know
beforehand.
Mr.. Dickinson of Michigan who sue.
coeds Mr. Villas, MS Postmaster-Gcner
Is comparatively n new man TO publ,
life; but he comes to Washington with
reputation for energy, ability and saga
city as prominent citizen Of his State
that stands him MS well in hand perhap
as demonstrated official experience o
ycars. He will doubtless prove fully
equal to all requirements Of the service
and satisfy all expectations.

As frail Pondorn, in the past,
Turned evils loose, so thick and fast,
That frightened, with her might and main,
She strove TO shut them in again,
So Grover, you have played the deuce
By turning free trade notions loose,
And ere noNt summers brcczes blow,
You'll damn that Message high and low,
As do now, with fcrvont strength,
In all It's width and depth and length.

On everything, from cast iron pig
To lesser items that we buy,
10 make the workers wages high.
